RE: Updated Bowl Projections
Since UAB is relatively new to bowl game politics, we really just don't know all the wheeling & dealing that go into the selections -- but we are definitely interested in learning them - from yearly experience. I want to see UAB play any P5 team in any bowl. Playing FSU anywhere offers the potential of someone asking Jimbo Fisher how he originally accepted the UAB FBHC job but wound up at FSU. The System BOT may not be pleased with an honest reply on national TV.

Just me here. I have 0 confidence Birmingham shows up for Birmingham bowl. We've played at home with winning record all year. Crowd has gotten smaller by a couple thousand a game. Do folks really think Memphis fans will be motivated to travel to Birmingham again? It'd be a letdown for them to be in Birmingham bowl. Again, those coaches & players already rewarded Birmingham. Time to return the favor.
Its a national trend outside of like well Bama, crowds normally get smaller towards the end of the season unless your like well Bama. If we can hold 22k for the last game my notion would like 27k, Coach would like to have 50k their. It would be a great, successful attendance record.
